Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about certified lab-grown diamonds, optical brilliance, custom jewelry design, and secure delivery.

💎 Lab-Grown Diamonds & Certification

Are Lucent Carat lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, 100%. Our lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They are pure carbon crystallized in an isometric diamond lattice (Type IIa purity), sharing the exact same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), refractive index (2.42), and dispersion (0.044) as earth-extracted stones.

Do all diamonds come with independent grading certificates?

Every loose diamond in our inventory is independently graded and certified by leading gemological institutes such as IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA (Gemological Institute of America). Each diamond is laser-inscribed on its girdle with its unique certificate number.

Will a lab-grown diamond pass a standard diamond tester?

Yes. Because lab-grown diamonds possess the identical thermal conductivity and electrical properties as natural mined diamonds, they test positive as real diamonds on all standard thermal and electrical gemstone testers.

How fast will my order ship, and is shipping insured?

All orders include 100% free, fully insured discreet express shipping (FedEx / DHL Express / Brink's Global Services). In-stock loose diamonds dispatch within 24–48 hours. Custom jewelry settings typically ship within 7–12 business days.
